How can I reinstall the freebsd loader without rerunning the setup program and instlling a new OS...??? On the same partitioning note... I am running am ail server on a freebsd 4.0 server with 40 gb of ram, only 10gb being used for freebsd, this isn't nearly enough... How can I repartiton from freebsd and create a new 30 gb partition that is mounted as /home and retain my old /home data in it...
